Container Ship Crisis Underscores Critical Supply Chain Challenges

 

76 container ships sitting off the west coast waiting to dock at LA and Long Beach. The ships have been in this log jam for approaching 3 months.

The average container ship has about 14,000 containers

The average value of merchandise on each container is $100,000

That is a total of $106,400,000,000 of inventory just sitting in limbo, sometimes expiring, often devaluing.

 

And it’s not just the west coast that is affected. There are similar problems up and down the east coast off New York and Georgia.

 

This is compounded by astronomical rises in shipping costs. It is estimated that the cost to ship a container from southern China to the west coast of the USA is as much as $20,000, up from $3,000 post pandemic. That is a rise of over 650%.

Woman sues Kellogg’s, says strawberry Pop-Tarts don’t have enough berries

 

Russett claims Kellogg's is using their packaging to fool folks who want a snack packed with more strawberries … she says the damages exceed $5 million and also wants to see Pop-Tarts labeled more accurately.

 

If this situation sounds all too familiar, it’s because it is. Earlier this year, two California women claimed that Subway’s tuna sandwich doesn’t contain tuna and that they were duped by the fast-food joint. Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin filed the $5 million lawsuit after they ordered the sub at locations near their home in Alameda County.

Driving a hard bargain: Haulage firms offer $100,000 salaries and $15,000 bonuses to lure 80,000 truckers and ease supply crisis as empty shipping containers are dumped in streets because California port is full

 

Trucking companies are offering lucrative incentives to attract more Americans to the trucking industry, where 80,000 jobs need to be filled this year

One company is offering a $15,000 signup bonus, while others promise six-figure salaries

But near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, transportation execs say the problem isn't a lack of drivers - it's mass congestion caused by empty containers

Steamships are refusing to take back empty containers, and charging trucking companies a per diem to store them

That is driving some small businesses to close as the logistical situation at the ports worsens

Head of the California Trucking Association has called for a state of emergency to be imposed

It all ties into the supply chain chaos that's left cargo ships queueing for weeks to unload goods to trucking companies, which are unable to efficiently move them
